I can't edit any of my documents

I installed MS 2007 and it worked fine for a while and then suddenly it no longer allowed me to use my mouse on the actual document at all. I can still click all the features, etc. but there's no point in that if I can't use my mouse to edit already existing documents. Help!?

Hello there, if you go to the Microsoft page and search for "Word viewer" it allows you to open any format Microsoft word document and view or print the file, but does not allow any changes to be made, hope that helps :)

Hi, this may not help you because I do not have the exact error you described. But here is some text from the MS website:The installation of the 2007 Microsoft Office suite Service
Pack 1 (SP1) fails with error 1935 or with error 78F. This failure occurs when
the Windows Installer encounters a reference either to a drive that no longer
exists or to a removable media device that contains no readable media. For
example, this failure may occur when the Windows Installer encounters a
reference to an empty DVD drive or to an empty CD drive. The issue is not
caused by the update design of the 2007 Microsoft Office suite Service Pack 1
(SP1).
RESOLUTION
loadTOCNode(1, 'resolution');
This
issue is resolved by update 946691 for the 2007 Office system.
Update 946691 is provided to resolve the problem that you may
experience when you install the 2007 Microsoft Office suite Service
Pack 1. You must install update 946691 on you computer before you
install 2007 Microsoft Office suite SP1.

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

I have come across this problem before (I presume you are talking about word docs??)

This is a fix that MAY work... Give it a try.

Start, Accessories, Run

Enter "regedit" and hit enter

Now look into:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office 12.0\Word Find the "Data" folder and rename it to "Old-Data" Start Word again and the problem should be fixed.

Always
be very careful when editing the registry though. In fact I would
recommend that the first thing you do when in the registry editor is to
click 'File' and select 'Export'. This will take a backup of your
current registry settings.

The From Scanner or Camera option for scanning documents and pictures is not available in Microsoft Office Word 2007. Instead, you can use your scanner to scan the document, and then you can save the file to your computer.
After you scan the document, you can use Microsoft Office Document Imaging to create a version of the document that you can edit. Important The first step is to install Microsoft Office Document Imaging, which is not installed by default.

1. The MS office 2007 that you are using currently is a Trial Version and it has expired OR

2. The Document you are trying to open is protected.

If it is the first case, please purchase the software to work on it or you could download from among the lots of freewares around the internet which does the basic work that MS Office does.

If it is the second case, kindly go to the Review Tab of the Ribbon. Click the Protect Document icon (right end of the Ribbon) & click on Restrict Editing & Formatting. At the bottom of the pane click the Stop Protection button (If there is no password you will be allowed to revise the document. If prompted for a password and you do not know what it is, you cannot make changes anywhere in the file.
Trust this helped.
